My completely natural teenage daughter looks at the other teenage girls around her and wonders how she can ever compete. I tell her not to worry, that boys prefer girls who look natural. But what do I know? I've been out of the dating game for decades. I can only hope there's a big enough pool of intelligent, thoughtful (and yes, un-poisoned) guys out there.
They can't compete with her. Confidence in oneself as they are is the highest level of attractiveness, and the smart (un-poisoned) boys will prefer that.
If she's asking her father 'how can I compete' - that tells me she's far from being confident. In fact, once she's out from her father's wing, the odds are, she'll follow suit.
You should be proud, both my boys are completely normal looking, and are aware of their words and actions. Your daughter and more so you, have nothing to worry about, other than getting her out of school sane, which it sounds like you have pretty much already accomplished successfully.
I would say the pool is shrinking, but is still capable of ripples, so have faith.
Sorry T, mine both have girlfriends who are mostly normal. lol
One thinks she is a liberal but is a good mom, the other went to a woke U in WI but she is also a good person, we are rubbing off on them like a fine grit sand paper.
Their are dozens of friends in their groups who are good boys, we are lucky. My boys are 24 and 29 and we lived in a very small conservative town during their school years and neither went to U, one is in trade school like me.
Teach your daughter what a good man is and isn't and she will do well.
Mine needs to go to U for what she wants to do, but thankfully she's a conservative through and through and at 15 can already poke fun at the commie nonsense. Your boys are too old for her :-) but it's good to know there are still plenty of decent families out there.
So as I said, I am in trade school in N Idaho, probably the most conservative part of the US. Anyway the admin are all trained in the art of racist bias and anti biology. I asked one of them why the first two questions on my scholarship application are your race and LGBTQ status, and she was like donβt be such a Neanderthal.
I took offense but said nothing and just quit talking to any of them since.
Luckily the trades professors are all working class asshat Neanderthals like meβ¦
The bloom of youth forgives a lot of ill-considered faddish extremes. How many of these "enhanced" humans, once aging out of youthfulness will look at themselves in the mirror and see the sad clown they've become, have any number of surgeries to correct the mutilation, and finally book a ticket to the nearest location that allows medically assisted suicide?
Those garish balloon lips remind me of the candy wax lips, a shiny cherry red color, made by the American Candy Company in the early 1900's, though now they are made by the company that makes Tootsie Rolls.
I agree. I have been really noticing how fake and unnatural women look today. Itβs horrible. When I look at pictures of women from generations past, they look so different. It is shocking. At first I think they look weird. But after a minute, I realize that it is us who look weird. I am sad for all the people who think they have to completely change themselves with excessive make-up, ridiculous eye lashes, obscene nails, and surgery in order to like how they look. The amount of time and money wasted in salons for all that stuff is ridiculous.
As a lady of a certain age, I'm sporting all the original equipment and accoutrements. Whatcha see is whatcha get. Do my best to look my best, but no amount of make up or fake hair color, or physical augmentation is going to disguise this stage in my life. I use a light smattering of make up, eat well, minimize stress, get adequate sleep, keep an active mind, and to the best of my ability am at peace with the aging process.
The fact that I haven't tried to fight, but merely accept aging gives me equanimity I wouldn't have otherwise. These young women, whose innate beauty derives mostly from youthfulness, apparently feel compelled to over-accentuate their attributes to the point of deformity such as you and GC describe indicates a paucity of their own worth. It is also a capitulation to the intense need to compete against their peers for attention, no matter the cost to their self-worth or their financial health. No wonder the usage of psychotropic drugs to manage their mental health is extremely high.
Growing up in the Generation X era, the only thing I got done, being a Rock n' roller with long hair was get my left ear pierced when I turned 18. If you had only your right ear pierced, you were considered gay. I am totally heterosexual. That was back in 1991. Back to the main topic, I see these women that do this plastic shit surgeries, botox injections in their lips and ass and laugh my skull off! Why do these women who are already beautiful think that they need these so called " improvements"? They just turned themselves into monstrosities of clown like appearance. And what the Sam Hell is this non-binary shit? I've been on hallucinogenic drugs before and most likely, before I die, take them again. I only do them because I get migraines (sarcasm). If I see a person like this and I'm tripping balls I'm either going to laugh my ass off or freak out and contact the government about a possible alien invasion. Great writing again GC!
Well, I think I heard a trans kid visited the White House for Gay Pride Month or something. WhatsHerFace covered it on her recent video. The aliens are already here. https://youtu.be/o9tUHBWLdag
As a fellow Gen-Xer, and a woman wishing I didn't struggle watching myself age, thank you. I wish I didn't care about injecting poison into my face or potentially dying from complications from plastic surgery, but alas I do. It's difficult when part of your identity has been being a decent looking female, and aging in this society casts you out. But I've developed strength over time from life and reluctant acceptance of aging (and lots of natural products that probably only help psychologically). I hold my feelings to myself because I have a 14 year old daughter who is feeling all of the pressures. She's tall and athletic and beautiful, but she wears a mask of makeup over her perfect, smooth skin, and disparages herself often. It's heartbreaking.
Meanwhile, speaking of the young people, there was a phase in middle school where half her friends became non-binary and bi an queer, etc. I was scolded many times when I referred to Jane as she and not they. But now Jane is a she again, and only one boy is gay, but he always was, and is a cool dude. He doesn't have an earring, but it would be in the right ear. (The straight boys nowadays have no earrings or both.)
Yes, that is heartbreaking. I wish you and your family the best of times, in times like these it's hard to raise kids and wonder what is going to happen in the future but you have to take one day at a time, step by step, minute by minute, hour by hour. Live for today and don't worry about tomorrow. Yes, there are cool gay people. I liked David Bowie and the way he was mysterious and humorous, but I never cared if he was bi-sexual or not. It was his music and his inspiration to rock music that was very important.
I pity those who are much younger than I who never had the sounds of singers like Dean Martin as regular background sounds in their lives. Hard to believe today that we ever had the ability to make such wonderful music. Thank goodness it still survives. Thanks for the memories.
Another fantastic piece GC, although I care not and know very little about this side of culture. I equate it as you do, to our hyper decline, and the yoke of woke or the unreality I try to avoid at all times.
I long for a Chinese balloon to set off an EMP just a few miles from our east and west coasts, it would quickly take care of this entire subset of inhuman technobotsβ¦. De-evolution on its grandest scale for the good of us all.
Please forgive me lord for I have sinned. Now I am good with the religionsβ¦.
Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I start to date. The area where I am is too small and has a relatively high injection rate. I'm working to make enough money to move to somewhere in SA, follow TGC example.
I have wondered what these celebs and regular people with all this plastic surgery tell their kids, who have inherited the features the parents (mostly moms) have permanently altered.
I used to have a fear of sharing my and my kids' un-shotted status because of reprisal, but having lived through that (and having suffered such reprisal), now I fear sharing that status for forced blood extraction and other harvesting (my kids' eggs and sperm? Organs?). I can't believe I'm writing this but I don't think it's far-fetched at all in this current world. I already thought about how my kids need to inquire about vax status down the line when finding a mate. And fortunately I can donate blood to all three if ever necessary (no random blood banks) because we have the same or compatible blood types.
Oh I'm not worried in the slightest. Being inked up is a definite no for me, it like a sign board for deselection. Besides that the types of girls you describe are oozing their fakeness like a snail oozes it's trail. Easy to recognise, I might even say fun in letting them wallow in the error of their ways.
Fortunately, thanks to an unfortunate recent admission of my mother in hospital, I can still see the majority of nurses are clean, soap-and-water girls, although sometimes obscured trough generous application of the clown schmink. Thank God everything is ok, and also not all is lost. The butchness of my pureblood status even gives me an edge over competitors, if I were to think that way. I went my own way years ago, and even that makes me more interesting. The future looks bright for real, thinking, people.
I went off your mailing list again, but it's ok, I read up as soon as I caught on, and keep a tab open on you now. Mother has bent the downward spiral into an upward one, she's a die hard from another era. Thank you for asking.
No exactly the same as last time, your notification emails are not arriving in my mail client. I use a mail box from a proprietary domain name, so I can check with my provider and they're simply not receiving anything from your mail address, neither in regular boxes nor spam boxes.
Ah yes I remember. Been having issues with Proton dumping my emails in spam folders again. Reach has been cut in half the past weeks. Itβs only a matter of time before the substack domain is completely blacklisted by major email providers.
That Dean Martin video was pretty cool. I don't know that I'd ever seen Jerry Lewis so young before. His girlfriend in the video was something else as well. On a similar note, if you're interested, go onto YouTube and search on "Two Sleepy People" and select the 1938 clip with Bob Hope and Shirley Ross. That's a fun piece and they're real classy. Something that no longer seems to be important to people these days. So much "no class", people don't even remember what it meant.
So much more to read through, but I took a detour of your article about tattoos. I used to love people watching especially when traveling. I got to a point that I got really sick of looking at people because most are so ugly --in one way or another, but the tattood young people became too much. I'll continue on.
This article evidences the extreme level that Self-Contempt is being manifested in an ever increasing array of people; however, it is all good news because the healing process of any dis-ease is usually uglier that the process of becoming sick, and the specie called mankind is sick and I mean physically sick and what this article depicts is this sickness showing its symptoms, which means it is coming out.
I know not who may or may not experience a healing but I do know that is up to oneself, which means everyone is in control of his/her destiny and that is 100% in control, so it is time for those destined to be healed to stay focused on their Self-Love and shut out all the appearance that seems to say "all is doomed" because all is not.
We have arrived at the base of energy's summit and anyone who has climbed knows that is where the going gets toughest; however, it is also where you get a glimpse of the peak and that is where some of us are going and as said the good news is every single man, woman and child gets to determine whether they want to go to their own heights, whatever that may be.

Dean Martin was a cool cat! I remember watching movies and shows with my parents with him in it when I was a kid.
His music was always playing in my parents' home, his among others of that era. I miss that.
It's up to you now to teach the next generation. I had loads of fun teaching my nephew about real music.

Should your longing become reality, our collective IQ will once again be on the ascendency.π€
So there I was finally getting into a groove on a creative project whenβdingβthis gem pops into my inbox. Damn you GS! Damn you!
Keeping it fresh for the "kids":

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I start to date. The area where I am is too small and has a relatively high injection rate. I'm working to make enough money to move to somewhere in SA, follow TGC example.
High injection rate.... hahahahaha, love it

That pregnant "man" is horrifying.
Iβm so glad you chose this topic, which is a perpetual source of consternation for me. I feel like I live in the bar scene of Total Recall.
Haha! Excellent analogy.
Oh I'm not worried in the slightest. Being inked up is a definite no for me, it like a sign board for deselection.

Glad to hear she's on the way up.
